It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. If the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. If you were to shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen within the first 12 months. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
